The Grey Wolf

The Grey Wolf
Laijon Liu 20190210

the grey wolf has been tailing a sheep flock for sometime
it seems the grey wolf has been tailing the sheep flock forever
downwind, a shifting triangle shadow
a pair golden glowing eyes, the fangs

the grey wolf on the hilltop, in the ravine
eying the grass grazing flock
often the grey wolf disguises itself
in a fine white sheep wool coat

the grey wolf lowers its head, slowly, silently crawls
its sharp paws gently brush the grass blades
soundlessly rest on the dry crunchy leaves
its dagger glowing eyes eying the fattest sheep

a sudden burst, a shot of javelin throw, it lunges
onto its fattest prize, that even bigger than its size
Poof! The fat sheep's coat flattens on the ground
the grey wolf lies like a mouse, under a huge paw.



牧羊犬
Laijon Liu 20190210

我是牧人的牧羊犬
我保护牧人的羊

广阔的草原上
我找回迷失的羔羊

我白日飞奔驱驰
我夜晚时时警醒

我是牧人的牧羊犬
我生来就捕杀恶狼

我是主人的好助手
我能认出披羊皮的狼

哪里有主人的羊群
哪里就有我的犬牙和利爪

主在我宿敌前摆下宴席
我在主人的篝火边分吃狼
